With a new lap record on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, the new Manthey kit impressively demonstrates its dynamic qualities: The GT electric sports car equipped with it completed the 20.832-kilometer circuit in the Eifel region in 6:55.533 minutes with Porsche development driver Lars Kern at the wheel—making it over nine seconds faster than the previous record holder in the luxury electric vehicle class. At the same time, Lars Kern beat his own record—set in October 2023 in a Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach Package—by twelve seconds.

Information about the official “Nürburgring record laps”
The following principle applies to all drives: one track, one complete lap, one time – according to uniform standards. In addition to timekeeping with calibrated measuring technology, official record attempts and attempts to achieve a lap time are always accompanied by a notary. In addition to monitoring the timekeeping, the vehicle is also inspected. TÜV Rheinland checks for standard conformity and documents this. The exact length of the track and the start and finish lines are precisely defined. A full lap of the Nordschleife is driven and measured with a flying start (20.8 kilometers). The vehicle categories for record drives and official lap times at the Nürburgring are divided into different segments by the Federal Motor Transport Authority and specially defined special classes.
